Square Mile, Killard Point and Kety Star are three against the field in another wide open affair and the narrow vote is given to Killard Point. The selection made all and jumped well when beating Dreamaker. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit eh is taken to win again. Square Mile rates the main danger as he won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Holland Park. His yard continue in good form and he will not be far away but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Kety Star is another that could go well on his latest second behind Monge Tout but this longer trip is not sure to suit. Great Character was third behind Jammed Packed last time and should be suited by the step up in trip so he could go well at a price but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Killard Point.
